There are reasons for her passion in taking on these cases, often pro bono, and these are revealed through her backstory that intersects with her latest case, where a young woman, Gabriela, seeks to find closure in the sudden disappearance of her famous photojournalist father, assumed to have died from a bear mauling a decade ago, though his body was never found.An intriguing enough storyline, and Heller does paint a rather convincing picture of hard-nosed and feisty Celine, aided by her husband Pete, the taciturn but resourceful sidekick in her mission. As a presumably standalone novel, however, it felt like Heller was trying to accomplish too much because he needed to flesh out Celine’s character and history, while at the same time, paying attention to the case and the characters involved, which made for quite an information overload. If it had been a series, Heller could have taken time to get into the case while pacing his examination of Celine over the course of the other novels. And yet, by the end of the novel, it felt like there should be more to come, by way of Celine’s personal storyline, while the resolution of the case felt a little uninspiring, for the fact that Gabriela, who had been a major character at the start of the novel, makes her reappearance, but more as a cameo.That said, Heller knows his subject matter well, as well as the terrain of locales like the Yellowstone National Park where Celine and Pete venture into as they encounter mortal danger, and outsmart oppositional forces with wit and candour. This is a vastly different novel from the dystopian thriller “The Dog Stars”, which first introduced me to his writing, and yet his flair with depicting natural landscapes are evident in both works. Not a dud, but not wholly satisfying either. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good *by Z***H on 9 April 2017* Generally very good, though I thought Heller went a little overboard in some scenes trying to make Celine come across as too badass. The scene with the biker comes immediately to mind. It's a thin line, where on one side it works and Celine is cool and the writing interesting, and on the other her coolness feels forced and the whole thing is cringe-worthy cheesy. But mostly it worked; I liked Celine and loved Pete. Though if I'm honest, I couldn't figure out why Hank, who was barely a character at all, was given a point of view.This is ostensibly a mystery, but that's really just the framing to allow the reader access to Celine's history. She's a fun character and it's not often you come across elderly, debutant PIs with emphysema as main characters. The writing is very good, though the whole things is quite slow and some of the leaps of logic the characters make to solve the mystery are a bit unbelievable. This is a book you read for the characters, not the action. It was my first Heller book and I finished it happy.Note: I won a copy through Goodreads. ### ⭐ Poor paper quality and wrong paper cut *by A***R on 6 August 2017* I bought it as a gift. The book is printed on paper of very poor quality. Additionally, sheets of paper are cut unevenly. I am not happy at all. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/49712258-celine](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/49712258-celine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
